Rare Gentleman's Farm with a wonderfully updated and remodeled 1850 farmhouse, with nearly ten acres of beautiful pasture land backing up to the 577-acre Daniel Boone State Park with hiking and horseback riding trails. This home is located in the Agriculture Preservation zoning to protect the open spaces around the park. Although you enjoy the country you are only minutes away from excellent restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, home improvement stores, bicycle trails, golf courses and more. The home has been updated with new energy efficient windows, central air and a beautiful new kitchen with granite countertops and custom cabinets. The master bedroom is on the first floor with its own fireplace, bath, laundry and private, enclosed porch. It's perfect for the owner or used as an in-law suite. Upstairs are three additional spacious bedrooms and a central bath. There is a walkup attic to a third floor that could easily be converted to expanded living space. Outside there is a large 20x40 in ground salt water pool. Enjoy dinner in the gazebo overlooking the pool and the fields behind the home. The separate pool house has a partial kitchen and half bath. Included in the pool house is an office with executive furniture and French doors that open to the pool. The pool house has a split system to provide heat and air conditioning year-round. Also, on the property is the original enclosed summer kitchen with a floor to ceiling fireplace. The property is cable ready and has hard wired internet connected to these buildings. A new septic system was installed in 2014. Your horse friends will love the old post and beam bank barn with plenty of hay storage up top and four stalls below. The bank barn is attached to a new 5 stall barn with automatic watering and separate wash stall. The wash stall leads to a nice tack room/workshop with sink and washing machine. Included in the barn complex is an oversized 3 car insulated garage. There is an additional small three stall barn located next to the full-size dressage ring with rubberized footing for year-round use. Frost free hydrants, on their own deep well and power, are located near pastures for convenience. Don't miss out!
